That's weird. I met an unusually high number of US people in Kuala Lumpur.

Mileage may vary I suppose, but I am in KL right now to see my doctor and have been staying at a friend's hostel for the past week in a very touristic area.

I have been socializing quite a bit and have not met a single American the entire week.

I've been rather to the expensive places. Maybe that's where your fellow Americans are hiding?

That seems like a likely explanation, although the island where I dive attracts very affluent tourists and there are effectively no Americans there either.

Were most of the people you met tourists or living in Malaysia?
